Oxygen combustion vessel 1104 series

The 1104 High Strength Vessel with Cage and Loop is a heavy-walled, 240 mL vessel. It is designed for combustion tests of explosives and other fast burning, high energy samples, that burn with extreme violence. The 1104 High Strength Vessel will handle samples liberating up to 12,000 calories using an oxygen charging pressure up to 45 atm (665 psig). The sample is contained in a combustion cage that is designed to muffle the shock forces produced by explosive samples. The capsule is anchored to the cage so the explosion will not dislodge it. While the combustion cage is essential for fast burning, high-energy samples, it may not be necessary to use the cage when testing samples which do not burn violently. In some cases it may be easier to secure complete combustion by substituting the loop capsule holder and omitting the cage.
